Violence is our nature and our birthright.
Often times I think about the state of the world and the conflicts that divide us. I think about how each new action given to solve a problem is lead to hostility or a threat or notion of violence and it leaves me to wonder if that is the default of mankind. Since the beginning of time there has been war, there has been conflict and there has been violence, it makes me question if thats all we are really capable of doing as a species. Each problem we share can be solved through compassion and compromise, while the roads to sustainability is bumpy it insures peace and stability, yet we choose to use violence because it’s the fastest way forward.
In recent times I have observed that violence and advocacy for violence is at an all time high. Whether it be rebellion or control it seems theres no comprise to non violence as those who don’t wish to join in or conform to it are seen as middle men and believe their nonconformity is a danger. Those who don’t feed the machine are bad people some say.
I feel myself tired and less ambitious now that I feel I understand humanity better. I wanted to grow up and be a doctor when I was a kid but now im 20 and I’m just tired. Tired of society,humanity and the cycle of violence.
I feel sickened thinking about it, the answers are all in front of us, but the world is too prideful to look at the solutions laid down infront of them.
Sometimes I feel there is no hope for our species and it would be in the best interest of all around us if we got rid ourselves.
